American Judges

Are you guys watching American Idol? Well, if you're like me, and I know I am, you are.

My favorite audition from last night was this guy named John Park. He was a pretty decent singer, clearly gay, but had a nice look about him that could effectively confuse all those tweeners who thought they ever had a chance with a gay man (guilty), and the kind of redneck homphobes who were shocked SHOCKED when Adam Lambert came out and wanted their votes back.

But that isn't really what I'd like to talk about. First, there was this crazy idea amongst the judges that an Asian couldn't have a voice like that. Really, ever since the voice of a large African American man came out of the body of a tiny Ginge like Rick Astley, can we please just stop with the whole, "I wasn't expecting that voice out of you(r tiny Asian body)" nonsense?

I think my favorite part, however, was when he made it to Hollywood, and Kara DiaGuardarallalalala said, "There's gonna be a lot of people screaming in about a second." What she meant to say was, "He's Asian, so he must have a huge family outside squatting on rice patties, waiting in anticipation." Instead, he was greeted by the largest group of theatre queens; it was fantastic. I have never seen Ryan Seacrest look so straight compared to anyone let alone this herd of flaming 'mo's. That'll show you to stereotype, judges.

Check out the clip here, which I'm sure will be pulled down soon:
